mx. BLAINE IN ENGLAND.
Looked Upon & Man Who Would
 Like Very Much to Twist the British

Looked Upon as & Man Who Would
 Like Very Much to Twist the British
 Lions Tail.
 NEW YORK, September 27.-Chauncey M.
 Depew was a passenger on the German
 steamer Elbe, which arrived to-day from
 Europe where he had been spending the
 summer. MT. Depew said that MT. Blaine
 was looked upon in England as 8 man of
 rabid anti-British tendencies and one who
 would like to twist the lions tail, and the
 Englishmen are rather interested in him and
 to know just the manner in which he is go-
 ing to offer this indignity to the lordly Brit
 ish beast. The Prince of Wales intimacy
 with MT. Blaine was simply to satisfy his
 royal highness' curiosity with regard to
 American sentiments and feeling, in which
 he is particularly interested and has been
 ever since his visit to the United States when
 youth. Regarding the alleged statement of
 Mr. Blaine that he would on no considera-
 tion become the Republican candidate for
 President in 1885, MT. Depew said that he
 did not think that MT. Blaine ever made such
 statement. He said that MT. Blaine is not
 seeking office. There is no doubt that he
 would be proud to be offered the nomination
 and could not fail to accept the proffered honor were it rendered him. Referring to the Irish home rule problem MT. Depew thinks tie whole thing rests with Mir. Glad stone for the present. There is a great change from what there was four years ago. Then the only advocates of home rule were the Irish Parliamentary party and they had opposed to them both English parties and the whole English people. Now under the lead ership of MT. Gladstone, the
 Liberal party, with the exception of the sixty Liberal Unionists, and the majority of the English masses are in favor of home rule and it will be made the first plank in the Liberal party. A Lib eraI must be home ruler or get out of the party. Forty of the sixty members who deserted Gladstone have now lost their con stituencies and the only way they can keep their political position is by keeping the English working classes think for themselves equally as well as Americans do. Of course they shave not good opportunities in the press as the Americans
 have. The English papers, prop erly speaking, are not newspapers at all. Not one of the London papers knew that MT. Blaine, Simon Cameron, Sem ator Hale, Murat Halstead and seve ral other prominent Americans were in London, and they knew nothing of these men with the ex- ception of MT. Blaine. The Times, the lead ing London paper, will have dispatch from America two or three times week about the stock market: but that is the only American news you can find in it. The Standard gen eraIly has dispatch from America of about twenty lines and this is news which would not be printed in an American newspaper.

 SARATOGA, N. Y., Sept. 27.-The Demo- cratic State convention was called to order at 1910. George Raines of Rochester was unanimously elected temporary chairman. On taking the chair MT. Raines addressed the convention. His reference to the various public acts of President Cleveland were re- ceived with long continued applause. Refer ence to the Presidents exercise of the veto power and his prompt approval of every measure in the interest of the people at large brought down the hall. The conclusion of Mir. Raines' speech was greeted with. great enthusiasm. The secretaries were then elect making the assembly rules applicable to the convention, the roll of the convention was at 12:50 begun. When the roll call had been concluded a resolution by MT. Dorsheimer was adopted directing that the committee on resolutions shall be composed of one delegate from each congressional district.

Mo Gregor and other places in the suburbs. The committees, however, were hard at work, and delegation after delegation appeared be- fore them to argue pro and con. The liquor dealers, prohibitionists and license men, high and low, made their arguments before the committee on resolutions. At 8:20 p. m. Chairman Raines rapped the convention to order. There were not fifty delegates in their places. Sheriff Grant, of New York, rose and moved that as the committee on con tested seats would not be able to report till late hour that the convention take 8 recess till tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Judge Duffy seconded the motion and it was carried.
